This sinister plot to burn the Pandavas is very interesting, I wonder what will happen to them. Getting a skilled miner to try and dig their way out of the palace is definitely thinking outside the box. Wo, they turned the plot around on the evil prince and burned down the guardhouse. Isn't Bhima the very strong one too?
Misinformation is always an fun twist to include in a story, so it will be interesting to see what Queen Kunti and the Pandavas do with their element of surprise.
"going into hiding" or "going into exile" seems to be a big theme in these Indian epics. It's kinda silly that Bhima is able to actually lift and carry his whole family long distances.
"I will drink hot, frothy blood" is really good but also sickening imagery and wordplay.
Just like in Ramayana, a Rakshasa woman is falling in love with a royal man. It was really kind of Bhima to carry Hidimba away from the sleepers.
What is interesting to me is that in this picture, Bhima looks like a strong guy, but nowhere near as big as the way he is described. (Link)
Bhima seems like his is now the strongest of his brothers; he is killing everything.
The births of Dhrishtadyumna and Draupadi were very creative, and I wonder if Drupada will have his revenge.
The story of Nalayani gives a little insight into the perceived culture back then, where marrying 5 men was okay but having premarital sex is not. Poor Karn, the caste system can be seem in full efect when he gets rejected!
It's a little strange that Draupadi's five husbands are all the Pandavas brothers. It seems like a pretty harsh punishment to be exiled for 20 years just because you accidentally walk in on your brother and your wife. At least it turned out well for him, with meeting a wife and all.
Arjuna is just spreading his seed everywhere. It's unny that people look on him with favor for abducting his bride!
This thing with Agni is definitely going to have consequences.
The image of King Duryodhana bumping into all these crystal items really is funny.
I want to see Bhima drink Duryodhana's blood!
